That's the attitude !!!! Every distance is its' own challenge, I wouldn't even say that the 10km is harder than the 5km as you run them differently. Once you get past the 10km (half marathon, full marathon etc) it gets tougher but 5 and 10km races IMO are highly achievable for most people that like to run a bit.

Don't know that I would want to do a full or half marathon but down the road who knows. Right now my eyes are on the 5k. Just kinda hoping that this running will help me drop some unwanted pounds. A girl can hope right?

I wasn't even trying to beat my time from the last 5k I ran was just trying to hold a steady pace but I STILL beat my time from last 5k... only 9 sec but that is still 9 sec faster than me a week ago! I probably could have done better but with my run this morning I was starting to feel really drained by about mile 2 and started having problems staying focused. My calves were starting to burn and since I didn't want to give up or quit I just walked jogged walked jogged the rest of the time. My buddy took a pic of me jogging. I am just so proud of myself considering where I was even just a month ago! Yay me

Plans for the day don't include running :/ Don't want to get burnt out on running yet lol. I have a lot of running around to do today. Need to go grocery shopping, do laundry, probably go ahead and do a couple day meal prep, make some doggie stew for my pooches and then I am going to relax by going to the symphony! I hope to get lost in the sweet sounds of the oboe. I haven't been to one since the 3rd grade and haven't played an instrument since the 6th grade. Is it safe to say that music is in my blood? Won't be doing any weight training today just cardio after I spot my buddy after his run. I am thinking about adding kombucha to my diet. I can't make it due to lack of counter space but love that wonderful drink!!!

So I actually paid closer attention at the health food store and found a local kombucha for $2.99 pretty darn good price since all the others are about $1 more. Come to find out $2.50 of it is a bottle deposit! I can't wait to taste it and see if it will be the brand I stick with.

Ok decided to ultimately take today off from the gym and worked with my buddy instead. Was late eating lunch so had lunch and supper at once and will have a nice snack later. Storms hit so has delayed the rest of my shopping but will be going here shortly. Need to start getting ready for they symphony. Feeling really really lazy today

Feeling super beastly today!! My legs are feeling like jello right now. Changing a few things up to avoid the stagnancy of routine lol. I don't know if I mentioned this or if it was figured out but I do all my morning workouts still fasting. I can't handle the idea of lifting on a full stomach let alone lifting this damn heavy on a full stomach. Right after I lift I start drinking my protein shake while doing my cardio.

I get a call from my client's daughter telling me she finally found unfrosted poptarts for me lol. Sad news is I can't eat them.... SOOOO I am taking them to someone who can and will eat them for me not all at once but I grabbed a package to take with me. The kombucha was awesome and I seriously want to take this bottle back to get another but won't. My client is sooo worn out and sick from this cold she is falling asleep sitting up no matter where she is sitting to be honest. I actually have been fighting falling asleep myself... my body sure does want to rest after that nice hard workout this morning!!!!

Yeah not a good morning by far! Overslept, running late to the gym and not being able to deal with all the wonderful things happening to those around me.... Not going into a pity party because that will only make me cry and get me nowhere.

Ok today I had an unexpected calorie burn.... mowed an acre with a push mower that was being a pain in the butt!!!!!!! So my workout buddy is starting to flip out.... I think he is over trained, stressed out and needs a break. Also I about punched him for making it sound horrible that people think we are dating. I was thinking come on I am a good person wtf is wrong with me that makes me untouchable??? DICK! Yeah he is on my shit list right now.....

It is a fermented tea that is naturally fizzy, can be flavored, has healthy bacteria and yeast, active enzymes and amino acids. I have just been craving soda and this is a much healthier alternative for me
